A communiqué is an official report or announcement, usually from a government, an army, or a formal meeting of leaders. Newspapers reach for it when the tone is stiff and public: the two countries issued a joint communiqué. It is not a casual update, a text, or a school notice. In ordinary office life people say announcement or statement; communiqué keeps the diplomatic, on-the-record flavour. English borrowed the French word as it was, including the é, rather than rebuilding it.
公報(外交或官方的正式公告,不是平常的「通知」)
組成Taken whole from French communiqué, “something communicated,” the past participle of communiquer (“to communicate”). English kept the French form.
